The bosses behind a popular bar have been given permission to bring an indoor street food market to a former New Town nightclub.

Montpeliers will operate its new Eastside premises at the former home of the Opal Lounge nightclub on George Street after receiving the backing of the Edinburgh Licensing Board.

The “alternative to clubbing” concept behind Eastside includes street food, dancing, craft beer and cocktails – as well as live DJs and free pool tables. Eastside will be open seven days a week from 5pm until 3am and 10pm until 3am on Mondays.
